I think we all sort of knew this was going on, as the game sold out quickly in a ton of places, but it is good to get confirmation. It really deserves it too. I haven't played this game yet, but I will for sure!
From Nintendo:
Building off its 92 Metacritic score, Fire Emblem Awakening for Nintendo 3DS had the best first month sales in franchise history, selling more than 180,000 units (more than 117,000 at retail + more than 63,000 digital units). By comparison, the previous hand-held entrant in the franchise – Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon – has sold a little more than 250,000 units life to date in the U.S. Fire Emblem Awakening sold 70 percent of that figure in just 28 days.
